Alvys is a fast-growing logistics technology startup building a modern cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) for carriers and brokers. We are seeking an Accounting Manager to establish scalable financial processes and ensure the accuracy and integrity of our financial data as we scale.
In this hands-on role, you will own the full accounting cycle and serve as the senior accounting lead reporting to the Head of Finance. You will be responsible for month-end close, general ledger management, revenue recognition, accounts payable, payroll, tax compliance, and audit readiness. Your work will produce clean, accurate, and defensible financial records.
Key responsibilities include:
**Month-end Close & General Ledger:** Own the close calendar end-to-end, review and post journal entries, perform detailed balance sheet reconciliations (cash, AR, deferred revenue, prepaids, accruals), run flux analysis with variance commentary, and maintain the chart of accounts and reporting mappings.
**Revenue Reporting & Billing:** Review and approve monthly revenue close, own ASC 606 revenue recognition policy and judgment calls (usage overages, multi-element contracts, modifications, concessions), manage annual recurring revenue (ARR/CARR) reporting, reconcile bookings and billings with the general ledger, and oversee invoicing, collections, and the dunning cycle.
**Accounts Payable, Expenses & Payroll:** Oversee vendor bills and payment runs in Ramp, partner with People Operations on domestic and international payroll, review and journalize payroll runs, reconcile clearing and benefits accounts, and review commission calculations and accruals.
**Financial Reporting & Forecasting:** Update monthly expense forecasts from closed actuals, maintain amortization and accrual schedules, explain spend variance against budget, and keep supporting detail current for leadership reporting.
**Tax, Compliance & Audit:** Coordinate with external advisors on federal, state, and franchise tax filings, own sales tax and 1099 compliance, and run audit readiness and execution.
**Team & Process:** Manage and develop a small analyst team covering AP/expense operations and billing/AR, serve as backup across team work, own the accounting SOP library and close checklist, and identify manual processes to eliminate as we build toward an autonomous close. Our close and billing processes already run on growing automation; you will extend these.
You will work directly with leadership, have real influence on how the accounting function is built, and have a clear path toward Controller as the business matures.
**Requirements:**
**Experience (Required):**
- 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including ownership of a full close cycle and hands-on balance sheet reconciliation

- Advanced Google Sheets: pivots, lookups, nested logic, data validation
- Salesforce: significant plus
**AI Fluency & Automation (Required):**
- Demonstrated, current use of AI in accounting work; be ready to explain what you've automated, what it replaced, and time saved
- Comfort writing prompts, iterating on output, and knowing when not to trust AI output; all AI-generated content is reviewed before touching the ledger
- Our finance function runs on a library of custom AI workflows built in-house; you will use them daily and be expected to build on them
**Preferred:**
- CPA or active CPA candidate
- SaaS or technology industry experience

- Clear written communication to explain variances and accounting issues to non-finance stakeholders
